About Elias
Elias Protopsaltis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people struggling with low self esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. He speaks plainly and welcomes honest conversation about painful experiences. He aims to create a hopeful space where people can set realistic goals and work toward them step by step.
He approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that feel stuck and testing practical changes between meetings. Elias draws on ideas from attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts.
His background includes an MA in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University and a BA in Psychology from San Francisco State University. He has worked in both agency and independent practice settings for 14 years, offering individual and group work to address trauma, mood concerns, and stress-related difficulties.
In sessions he aims to be direct and supportive. He helps people name what matters most, set achievable steps, and track progress. Many conversations cover coping with life changes, relationship problems, parenting strain, career decisions, and questions about identity and belonging.
People can expect a steady, goal-oriented approach that still makes room for exploring deeper meaning. Elias wants therapy to feel like a place where change is practical and reachable, rather than abstract or overwhelming.
